Argentina se prepara para vivir una noche especial. Será el primer partido en el país que la Selección y Messi jugarán como campeones de América. Sin embargo, no sólo existe expectativa por celebrar lo que pasó. Aparte del show previo y de un regalo de la AFA para cada uno de los campeones, habrá una búsqueda singular que le agrega adrenalina a este partido contra la débil Bolivia. Podría quedar en la historia como el día en que Leo igualó un récord de Pelé.
No pudo ser en la final del Maracaná. No lo dejó intentarlo el bochorno mundial del domingo en San Pablo con la suspensión a los 6 minutos. ¿La tercera será la vencida? Se verá… Lo cierto es que Messi igualará a Pelé como máximo goleador de selecciones sudamericanas si convierte en este duelo de Eliminatorias que arrancará a la 1.30 de la madrugada del viernes español. Tiene 77 definiciones O'Rei. Tiene 76 La Pulga.
A Messi lo alentarán 21.000 hinchas en el Monumental de River. Otro condimento especial: será la vuelta del público en un estadio del fútbol argentino. Se viene jugando sin fanáticos desde el 10 de marzo de 2020.
Lionel Scaloni no confirmó la formación albiceleste, pero incluirá a Juan Musso, Germán Pezzella y Alejandro Papu Gómez por Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero y Giovani Lo Celso, los desafectados de la Premier League al igual que Emiliano Buendía. “Decidí liberarlos después de Brasil. Los vi agobiados y preocupados por lo de sus clubes. Ellos han demostrado que tienen ganas de estar, pero no podemos ponerlos en estos aprietos. Acá tienen que venir con la mente libre y no con este tipo de preocupaciones”, explicó Scaloni.
Justamente el DT campeón de América bajó un discurso bien firme sobre los conflictos que se vienen generando con las cesiones de jugadores: “Nos reuniremos con los entrenadores y federaciones, así no se puede seguir para la siguiente fecha. Es complicado. Si los clubes siguen con esta postura, las selecciones nos pondremos firmes. Una cosa es jugar una Fecha FIFA sin algunos. Puede pasar. Pero ya competir en lo que viene sin los mejores, me parece que no es justo. La competición no sería igual. No veo una solución tan fácil si los clubes siguen con esta posición”.
Más allá de ese tema urticante, no está muy de acuerdo Scaloni con los festejos previos al partido de este jueves: “Los dejaría para después. Lo que importa es el partido con Bolivia, ganar los tres puntos”. Se supone que su Selección tendría que resolver el juego sin inconvenientes.
Por Bolivia que es accesible según lo dice su gris actualidad y que nunca venció a la albiceleste de visitante en Eliminatorias, por el Monumental, por ser una noche con clima de celebración, debería ganar Argentina y debería Messi igualar a Pelé. Mejor momento, imposible.
